Chapter 1: The Trap
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru, thoughI would love to.
The inu group was just starting to pack up camp to leave out for another day of shard hunting, when Kagome detected that there was a jewel shard close. Inuyasha immediately took out and growled a name no one expected... "Sesshoumaru!"
"Kagome hurry up and get on my back." Inuyasha demanded. Kagome jumped onto his back and pointed to the jewel shard. 'The jewel shard is in the same direction as Sesshoumaru.' thought Inuyasha. 'I hope he hasn't decided to use the jewel shards we'll be in A LOT of trouble then' he thought.
They made their way to the shard and what they saw shocked them all. Sesshoumaru was being surrounded by a numerous amount of demons and he was bleeding badly trying to shield Rin and Jaken. Ah-un was behind Sesshoumaru fighting off the demons from that side of the small group. Sesshoumaru was just... for lack of a better word kicking ass. He brought Toukijin and delivered an attack that shook the earth beneath the Inu groups feet. All the demons were down except for one large ogre-looking one the demon took one look at Sesshoumaru's weakened state and lunged for him. Kagome jumped off of Inuyasha's back and notched her bow pulling back the string she yelled "No You Don't Demon!" as she released the string she yelled "Hit the Mark!"
Everyone was shocked by her actions, including Sesshoumaru even thought he would never admit it. The ogre screamed as the arrow hit the jewel shard causing it to fall to the ground. "Sesshoumaru hit it with the attack again, hurry!" Kagome yelled causing Inuyasha to look at her like she had grown a few extra heads.
'Why didn't she yell for me to finish off the demon?' Inuyasha questioned himself. As he watched Sesshoumaru finish off the demon then kneel down in pain and Kagome running up to his side. 'She has officially lost her mind he will kill her for sure' Inuyasha watched on as if rooted to the spot.
Kagome cautiously approached Sesshoumaru. "Lord Sesshoumaru, are you ok? Please allow me to look at your wounds so they won't get infected."
Sesshoumaru just looked at her for a while and she just new that she was fixing to die by the claws of a weakened Sesshoumaru. He looked her over and to her shock he spoke. "You may look over my wounds only if you will look over Rin and Ah-un's first, Miko"
Kagome just nodded and started with Rin she had a cut over her eye and one on her cheek a gash on her arm and some scratches on her legs. "Shippo will you please bring me my bag and first aid kit." The small fox kit ran over to her and dropped the bag in front of her. "Thank you sweetie."
"Your welcome mama." he said to her. 'I am so glad she let me start calling her that' he thought proudly. "Do you want to help me sweetie?" "Yea sure mama. What do you want me to do?"
"I need you to go and get some water in my pan and help build a fire. Please." "Ok mama." With that he ran off to a nearby stream.
Inuyasha felt like he could finally move and he went from shocked to mad fast. He jumped up and started toward Sesshoumaru before Sesshoumaru could react Inuyasha was there in front of him. Rin screamed "Lord Sesshoumaru Look out!" Kagome turned around to see what Inuyasha was about to do and she yelled "SIT! INUYASHA I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE GOING TO ATTACK YOUR BROTHER WHO IS OUT OF COMMISSION FOR THE MOMENT NOW JUST SIT THERE FOR AWHILE SO I CAN FINISH WHAT I SAID I WOULD DO. GEEZE YOU MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM SOMETIMES." by the time she was done Sesshoumaru was holding his ears Rin was shocked to say the least Miroku and Sango were cracking up, Shippo who just got back was chuckling.
"Do they fight like that often?" a curious Rin ask a now cracking up Shippo. "Yea they do." Sesshoumaru who was watching the whole scene in slight amusement watched as Kagome got up and went to Rin looking over her gash first Sesshoumaru spoke "Miko, bring her here." Kagome picked Rin up an took her over to Sesshoumaru and sat her in his lap and sat down beside them then Shippo brought over two pots of water one was steaming the other freezing.
Sesshoumaru looked at Rin's arm and said "I am going to use my healing saliva to clean the wound and then allow the Miko to bandage it ok Rin?" even though it was more of a statement the a suggestion. Rin nodded her head and gave her Lord her arm. He took it gently, to the shock of Kagome, and licked the blood off of the wound. After about five good licks the wound was clean and not bleeding anymore.
"Now allow the Miko to bandage it ok." Sesshoumaru in a softer tone. "Ok Lord Sesshoumaru."
Kagome took Rin onto her lap and looked at the now clean wound. "Rin this stuff may sting just a little but, if you hold Lord Sesshoumaru it won't hurt as bad." "Why is that Kagome?" Rin asked. "I'm not sure when you are hurt it feels better to hold on to someone you care about, I personally believe it gives us strength that we need to over come the pain." Kagome gave her a smile and placed her hand into Sesshoumaru's hand and started to apply the salve to the gash.
Rin inhaled sharply but didn't show any other signs of distress and watched as Kagome placed the bandage around her arm. "Ok all done with that one are you ready for the ones on your face?" Kagome looked Rin in the eye and said " It will hurt too but we can't allow them to set up infection, it will be better if we just... get it over with." Kagome said taking a deep breath.
She dabbed Rin's face with the alcohol and listened to Rin's intake of breath. She heard Sesshoumaru growl low in his throat, almost like a comforting purr. Rin and herself immediately relaxed a little. Once she was finished with Rin she walked over to Ah-un and look into one of it's faces she was nervous and the dragon could feel it so it touched one of it's heads to her stomach and the other under her head and it purred a little.
Kagome pet the head of the beast and bandaged the only cut on the dragon's tail and the last one on it's stomach. The beast then laid down next to Jaken. Kagome noticed a cut across Jaken's cheek, she thought 'I know he has been mean to me in the past but I don't want the cut to be infected.' She looked to Shippo who was asleep next to Rin, she smiled at the scene, and looked back to Jaken she walked over to Shippo and Rin and took her first-aide kit and went over to Jaken.
She bent down next to Jaken "Can I bandage that cut for you, Jaken?" Jaken almost said something to her but was cut off by something that surprised all of them in the group Sesshoumaru growled "Jaken you will accept her help if you say one crude word to her I will personally kill you." Jaken shuddered under Sesshoumaru's intense gaze. "Y-yes L-lady K-kagome I'll t-take your h-help."
Kagome smiled at Jaken and then to Sesshoumaru and bent down to bandage the cut. Once she was done she turned to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha you need to go and hunt find us something to fix for dinner we will be staying here with Ses... I mean Lord Sesshoumaru, Rin, and the others." Inuyasha huffed but stood and stretched then went off into the forest but kept his senses on edge because even though his brother was injured he was still dangerous.
"Sango, Miroku would you two gather some fire wood and build a fire." they both nodded and walked throwing questioning looks at Sesshoumaru but went anyway.
Kagome then double checked the children, and made sure they were asleep. She then turned to Sesshoumaru and walked cautiously up to him, and kneeled down to him. "T-thank you L-lord Sesshoumaru for not allowing Jaken to fight or call me names I get enough of both from Inuyasha. He hates for me to bandage his wounds but loves to compare me to Kikyo." with the last she said she had a sad look in her eyes.
Sesshoumaru asked "Kikyo you mean the dead miko?" Looking at Kagome she flinched when he said the miko's name.
"Yes. That is her. The one who sealed Inuyasha to the tree for fifty years." She seemed to calm a little and looked at him with her dark brown eyes and smiled a half hearted smile. "Are you ready for me to work on your wounds, Lord Sesshoumaru?"
"Yes if you are, Miko." was his reply. Kagome looked up to him with a slight blush on her cheeks "um could you p-please take off you top please, and stop calling me 'miko' it reminds me of her." Sesshoumaru nodded and started removing his top, revealing his perfect six pack. The only things that marred his perfect body was the cut he got from the ogre, and the arm Inuyasha cut off the first time she had seen Sesshoumaru in his true form.
She looked to the stump of an arm and frowned. "Don't pity me Kagome." was all he said. She was shocked for two reasons one he spoke to her and two he said her name. "I don't pity you my Lord, I just regret the day Inuyasha did that to you." She touched the place where his arm used to be and a silver light started to come from her hand.
"What are you doing Kagome?" She looked up to him with a blank stare and looked again to the place where his arm used to be and it was there. She was so tired when she stood up from completely healing Sesshoumaru, she was very dizzy and fell she was ready to feel the hard ground beneath her nose only to feel two strong arms wrap around her and a solid chest she fell into, then everything was black.
Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango came in to see that Sesshoumaru was reapplying a cold damp cloth to Kagome's forehead. Inuyasha ran over and growled at Sesshoumaru, he was still topless and had his top over her. "What did you do to her Sesshoumaru? If you hurt her I'll kill you!"
Sesshoumaru just looked at Inuyasha with his emotional mask. "Inuyasha maybe I should wake her up and tell her where you went before hunting hmmmm." What he didn't know was that Kagome was awake and she sat up and asked "Who were you with Inuyasha?" There was sadness laced in her voice.
She looked at him knowing where he went. Shippo and Rin then came over and sat on her lap and placed a flower neckless around her, she gave them a sweet smile that didn't really go to her eyes. With out warning a dark fog passed through the area and the first ones out were the children. Then everyone else soon followed. After everyone was out two Dark hooded figures stepped out of the woods surrounding the camp. "Hurry up and lets get them to our master."
With that they picked everyone up and placed them into a cart and took off.
